Can you post a link or give me the model number of the DVR? Also please let me know what type of cable, connectors, and length of cable from camera to dvr? Same thing on power supply cable type and how long is the run? Please let me know you if you have the regular display working from dvr, such as having monitor connected to DVR and that you can log into it and see interface. Does DVR have a hard drive installed and does it show up without errors? Lastly double check you are not connecting the video cable to the audio ports if the DVR has them.

I'm think we are missing a minor detail as to why the video is not working yet. Feel free to chat me or call I'm here all day.

Analog Security Camerashttp://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinfo/forum/analog-security-cameras/no-camera-display/#p3708 I'm sure its either i need to change one option or the video in ports just aren't working right. I'll go through everything i've tested and how i did so.

I have multiple security systems set up and all of the cameras i'm putting into this DVR were working before i used this DVR. I bought it brand new but was unable to use it for a week because i ended up needing a new power supply for my cameras. After getting the new power supply and plugging everything in there was no video feed. I took the power supply to another Camera setup and tested the power supply and it worked so it can't be that. Then i (just to double check) took one of my cameras that was still in the box and connected it to the DVR with still no video feed. I'm not sure if there is anything outside of just assuming the ports don't work but if you guys have any ideas please let me know.

Analog Security Camerashttp://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinfo/forum/analog-security-cameras/ptz-configuration/#p3559The parity should be left alone. The only thing that should change is the Protocol, address, and baud rate.

Analog Security Camerashttp://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinfo/forum/analog-security-cameras/ptz-configuration/#p3558Ok I may have the wires backward since they were not labeled. I will check that when I get home. So what should the parity be set to?

Analog Security Camerashttp://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinfo/forum/analog-security-cameras/ptz-configuration/#p3557No, there should be an "A" and "B". The "A" is + and the "B" is - for RS-485. If all is good you should try to use a different cable for RS-485, could be a short somewhere in the line. If that does not help, it is quite possible that camera is not supported with the new DVR's.

Analog Security Camerashttp://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinfo/forum/analog-security-cameras/ptz-configuration/#p3556Yes the old DVR was set to PELCOD 1200 Baud and address 1. I wired the two wires to the back of the new DVR where the manual said the RS485 should go. In Setup do I need to make changes to the RS485 settings? Or the Parity settings?

Analog Security Camerashttp://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinfo/forum/analog-security-cameras/ptz-configuration/#p3554Also,

Keep in mind this camera may not even be supported with the newer DVR's if it was not purchased from us.

Analog Security Camerashttp://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinfo/forum/analog-security-cameras/ptz-configuration/#p3552Start and stop bit should not be altered. Just leave it the way it is in the PTZ settings. You are positive that you have the exact settings from the PTZ, Protocol, Baud Rate, and Address, put into the PTZ settings of the DVR? On the correct channel? Also, you have the RS485 wired to the back of the DVR? Thanks.

Analog Security Camerashttp://www.securitycameraking.com/securityinfo/forum/analog-security-cameras/ptz-configuration/#p3551I just purchased a 16 Channel Mini Series HD-CVI / IP / CCTV DVR [#DVR-CVI16480M-DH-V2] purchased 6/2015

System Version: 3.200.0001.14, Build Date: 2014-12-17.

I installed it to replace my old DVR. All the cameras are analog and work fine except the PTZ dome. I cannot control the PTZ Dome with the new DVR for some reason. I matched the settings from the old DVR that worked with the PTZ dome but still no luck. The old DVR did not have start and stop bit so I am wondering if that has something to do with it not working? What should those settings be? Also the camera Manual does not have any information about the start and stop bit either.
